Next door neighbour's smoke detector is beeping loudly (suspected low battery) but occupants are away...?

That depends what it is. A watch alarm will stop. Actually, EVERY alarm will stop when there's no more power to them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
